When people close to him start getting hurt, Mitchell is forced to act, and take brutal on revenge on those who've stolen his life...

Media Reviews
Truly great entertainment, permeated with a dark and disturbing strand that'll stay with you long after the final denouement. * Time Out *
Bruen is the finest purveyor of intelligent Brit-noir...delectably dark and nastily entertaining * The Big Issue *
Bruen combines staccato prose and hard-edged dialogue with gritty realism and a terrifying look at London's dark underbelly. This one packs one hell of a powerful punch. * Booklist *
Unnervingly clever...Bruen has a patent on flinty dialogue and a disquieting feel for the language of violence. * New York Times *
A crackingly written, taut and well-characterised crime yarn. * Telegraph *
Author Bio
Ken Bruen was born in Galway, Ireland. After turning down a place at RADA, and completing a doctorate in Metaphysics, he spent 25 years as an English teacher in Africa, Japan, South East Asia and South America. An unscheduled stint in a Brazilian prison where he suffered physical and mental abuse spurred him to write, and after a brief spell teaching in London, he returned to Galway, where he now lives with his daughter.
